Motorcycle Rider Chases SUV to Save Cup

Don't try this at home, folks.

Video of 28-year-old Nate Bos has been burning up the web the past few days. Shot with a GoPro camera mounted on Bos's helmet, it shows his point of view as he rides his motorcycle behind a woman's SUV to save the cup she unwittingly had on her rear bumper.

It was early in May, and Bos was just out for a leisurely ride on Geneva Road in Orem, Utah, his GoPro running, when the woman's vehicle passed him and he spotted the cup.

A millworker who goes to college part-time to study digital media, Bos told ABCNews.com in a Wednesday interview that he "didn't think twice" about retrieving the cup from the moving vehicle.

"It just kind a struck me that it was a good thing to do," Bos said, explaining the impulse to perform the risky maneuver. "I knew right away, I knew when I saw that cup (that) I was going to give it to the lady. I was going to give that cup back."

"I wasn't really nervous being that close to a car, but I was nervous I was just going to drop the cup. I wanted to make sure that when I grabbed it I got it and I did I executed it perfectly," he said.

He started pulling up alongside her to get her attention, but she turned away onto the 800 North. He switched the cup to his other hand and followed.

"When I pulled up alongside of her I was hoping she would just look over and she did, and I was just kind of showing her the cup and she recognized the cup and she just rolled her window down," he said.

She took the cup, yelled "my daughter," then added, "sorry, thank you," dumped the contents of the cup - a white liquid - out onto the road, and then she and Bos both kept going.

"I don't really even know who the lady is. I didn't talk to her afterwards, I haven't heard anything since," he said.

"I looked at it Sunday night pretty late … and it only had about 1,800 views Sunday night, but then when I woke up Monday morning, my Facebook's tethered to my phone, and my phone just starts blowing up," he said.
